@josiahdeboer No–we’re going to make sure that doesn’t happen. All previously published forum and post content will remain (though some of our pages will be updated); they’ll just now be more elegant, faster, and mobile-accessible.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Writing Mentors in the forum General Writing Discussions 7 years, 7 months ago
@jane-maree @bethanysinkyroses Not to take this conversation down a bit of a rabbit trail, but how often do you tend to meet with your mentors and what type of help do they tend to give you that you find most helpful?
The KP staff is currently in a lot of talks about what kind of new initiatives to consider taking on moving forward and providing…[Read more]

“What’s that?” you say. “You mean after seven months of promising a new modern and mobile-friendly web design was on its way, it’s /actually/ happening?”
Hard to believe. But yes. It was a great and difficult challenge to scour the internet for web designers before taking on the harder challenge of doing it ourselves. But we’re finally ready to…[Read more]

@perfectfifths I think that’s a great example here of a negative arc and how catharsis works in it! Because Wormwood doesn’t seem to get worse over the course of the story, it’s probably a combination of a flat and a negative arc for him.

@revayah1 Yep! Quick note on tagging: some people like me are weird and have a tagging name that’s different from their display name (mine is @aratrea). To find someone’s tag, just click their name to see what it is on their profile, or if you hover over their name and look at the web address it links to, the last part of that web address should…[Read more]

@perfectfifths Got it. A slow process like that can definitely be very effective and I’d recommend that as a natural way to do it. You may find, though, that it still helps to have a specific moment after the slow trust process where Amrei is forced to make a decision and chooses to trust Nylian at a pivotal moment to really hammer Amrei’s change home.

Welcome to the site @Revayah1! Glad you found us. 🙂 Yeah, there’s a pretty large INFJ percentage both on the forum and on the staff (though I think ENFJ is the most popular staff type at the moment…) Needless to say you’re in good company. 😉
Also tagging @christi-eaton for the Mark of the Lion reference.

Josiah DeGraaf replied to the topic Hello! I'm Aislinn in the forum Start HERE 7 years, 8 months ago
@aislinn-mollisong I only had time to look through the prologue and chapter one, but here’s a couple things I noted:

You do a lot of telling as opposed to showing, which is probably…[Read more]
